My mistake, it’s in the county next door, further up the panhandle.

Bonner County… That’s pretty remote… not QUITE Napoleon Dynamite terrority, but close enough where I can say with reasonable confidence that the police probably DON’T have anything better to do.

It’s also home to Sandpoint, which is where the Aryan Nation was located, all those years ago (could be wrong about that… but it’s the area at least).

What most people don’t realise is that the world is a “dangerous” place for people on the spectrum. They have 7x the chance of having an incounter with law enforcement. And because they won’t look officers in the eyes they are often considered “guilty” for whatever reason they were stopped. They also have a high probability for “fright/flight” causing them to flee the scene which can result in their death. Having two boys on the spectrum when I read things like this it scares the living daylights out of me but I am glad you posted this.

Towry said Evelyn, who loves Spongebob Squarepants, told her she was put in a separate classroom away from the party, but when she tried to leave, the teachers told her to stay put. Evelyn did not listen, Towry said, and the adults physically restrained her.

Yeah, I don’t think teachers are allowed to do that…

Unlawful restraint and battery, at the very least.

And the cop is a massive douchebag, who needs to forever be teased by fellow cops about how “tough guy handcuffed a 8 year old autistic kid”…

” So the teachers restrained her and isolated her. ”

Sounds like kidnapping.
